Electronic appointment:

You can obtain it from the Turkish Immigration Department website. Important notes from the Turkish Spectrum that no one else mentions to you: When booking an appointment, be careful to ensure the accuracy of the information in the application form. First, write the name and surname exactly as they appear on your passport, especially for nationalities whose names are written in both five- and four-character forms. The names must be distributed in the first and surname fields so that when combined, the result matches your name in your passport. Changing the name after the residency permit is issued is very costly and difficult, and you will encounter problems related to opening bank accounts or notary public procedures due to mismatches. Use a recent biometric photo (less than 6 months old). Some residency permits have been rejected because of the photo. Declare your source of income and your ability to live sufficiently in Turkey. Provide an accurate figure for your income in Turkish lira and its source. Filling in the profession field is very important. Include the date of moving to your address in Turkey as closely as possible to the rental contract date or the date you own the property. Link your health insurance number and date to the appointment request accurately. Make sure you write your passport number and start and end dates correctly, otherwise you will not be able to complete the application. Provide a correct Turkish phone number and email address, otherwise you will not be able to complete and follow up on the application later. Attention, attention, attention. Do not book an appointment for residency before entering Turkey. Whether applying for a residency for the first time or renewing your residency, booking an appointment before entering Turkey is a major reason for your residency permit to be rejected. The website gives three options for applying for residency for the first time, meaning that you are applying for the first time and you have a valid visa that has not expired. The second option is to extend or renew your residency if you already have a residency and intend to renew it with the same type for the second time. Changing your residency type if you already have a residency, for example, a tourist residency and want to change it to a family residency or any other type.
When it comes to the reason for staying in Türkiye, it is important to state that you are a person who owns a property in Türkiye and not any other reason.
You can request an electronic appointment through Tayf Türkiye.

Mandatory health insurance for residence:

It is mandatory for individuals between the ages of 18 and 65. For individuals younger than 18 and older than 65, health insurance is not a condition for obtaining residency. Other than that, it is a condition. To obtain health insurance, a person is required to have only four pieces of information: a copy of their passport or residency permit, a detailed residential address in Turkey, and the start date of the health insurance, which should preferably match the date of submitting the residency application if applying for the first time or the expiry date if applying for a residency renewal. Health insurance prices vary according to age and gender. You can click the link to get health insurance prices. Tayf Turkey is an official agent and partner of dozens of private insurance companies.

You can apply for health insurance through Tayf Türkiye.

Tax number:

It is implicitly required to pay the residency fees, which we will discuss later, and can be obtained through the website. Spectrum Turkey recommends paying attention to the information and writing it correctly and accurately, as amending it later would be time-consuming and time-consuming. After obtaining the tax number, you can save it on your mobile phone or as a piece of paper, which you will need for various procedures until the residency is issued.

Passport authentication translation:

The notary public in Turkey (known as NOTER) requests a translation and certification of your passport into Turkish. Due to the differences in the naming system between the Turkish system and other countries, Taif Turkey advises you to keep a copy of your passport translated and certified by the notary public, as you will need it for many subsequent transactions in Türkiye.

-Paying residence fees:

Real estate residency fees do not pose a significant financial burden on the applicant. These fees are limited to a small fee, including health insurance, which varies according to age group, and other fees such as the receipt, which must be paid at a branch of the Immigration Presidency. The cost of real estate residency in Turkey is linked to the value of the property purchased, approximately 9.7% of its value. For example, if the property is priced at 100,000 Turkish liras, the fee due would be approximately 9,700 Turkish liras.

Personal photos:

A recent biometric (less than 6 months old) photo is required, whether applying for a new residence permit or renewing it. Spectrum Türkiye recommends requesting electronic copies of the photos via WhatsApp or email for later use when booking an online appointment.

Copy of passport:

-Visa and last entry stamp to the Republic of Turkey.
Earthquake insurance for the property on which a real estate residence is to be established, or what is called in Turkish (DASK).

- A copy of the title deed on which the residence permit is to be issued (title deed or certificate)
The apartment address details and its link to an official document with the apartment owner. This document is called (NUMARATAJ) in Turkish and is issued by the municipality to which the property belongs. It is preferable to apply for it during the morning work period, before 11 o’clock, so that you can obtain the document on the same day.
- A document proving that the property is still in the name of its owner and has not been changed. It is called in Turkish (TAPU AKTIF KAYIT) and is issued by the Land Registry to which the property belongs. Note: Currently, there is an electronic system through which you can obtain this document without going to the Land Registry, but the information must be updated and the title deed information linked to the Turkish residence number after it is issued.

- In some cases, a birth certificate is required from the home country:

Authentication from the home country's foreign ministry, followed by a Turkish consulate, a certified translation, and certification by a notary public and the Turkish governor, depending on the city of residence. Spectrum Turkey provides you with sufficient information to consider some of the requirements that no one tells you about, so you can prepare the required documents before arriving in Türkiye.

- In some cases, a non-conviction certificate is required:

From your home country, authenticated by the home country's foreign ministry, then by the consulate in Turkey, along with a sworn translation and certification by a notary public and the Turkish governor, depending on your city of residence.
